The real problem

One deal shouldn't live in six places.

Documents in Drive. Deadlines on a calendar. Statuses in a spreadsheet. Missing forms buried in email. Your team shouldn't have to piece the transaction together.

Paperless Pipeline puts the whole deal in one place.

Transaction management vs. what you're using today.

Transaction management software isn't a CRM and isn't a shared drive. It runs the operational middle of every deal — the part where paperwork, deadlines, and compliance actually happen.

Most brokerages run a CRM and Paperless Pipeline — the CRM handles the lead, Paperless Pipeline handles the deal. Native Follow Up Boss integration keeps them in sync.

Compliance & audits

Be audit-ready per transaction.

Every document has a reviewer, a timestamp, and a history. Managing brokers get a queue; agents get a checklist; auditors get a complete paper trail — without a binder or a weekend of cleanup.

See how compliance works

Two-stage document review

Reviewer, notes, and timestamp on every accepted or rejected document. Full history preserved.

Required-document gates

Deals can't advance to Pending or Closed until the right forms — Purchase Agreement, Agency Disclosure, EMD receipt — are in and reviewed.

Per-role permissions

Agents see only their own deals. TCs see their assigned transactions. Managing brokers see everything, per office.

One-click audit export

Pull a complete document set for any transaction, with review history, in a single downloadable package.

Commissions & CDAs

Every split, cap, and fee — calculated for you.

Set agent splits, brokerage caps, referral fees, franchise fees, and team tiers once. Paperless Pipeline generates a Commission Disbursement Authorization (CDA) for every deal and tracks year-end agent earnings for your 1099 filing.

Splits, caps & tiers

Per-agent splits, brokerage caps (annual or per-anniversary), transaction fees, and team overrides — configured per agent, applied automatically to every closing.

Commission Disbursement Authorizations (CDAs)

Generate a branded CDA per transaction with agent, co-op, referral, franchise, and brokerage lines. Email to title or download as PDF in one click.

1099 prep & YTD reporting

Per-agent YTD earnings, cap progress, and per-transaction breakdowns available all year — the numbers your accountant needs at tax time. Paperless Pipeline does not generate or file 1099-NEC forms.

FAQ

Common questions about Paperless Pipeline.

Still curious? Talk to our team.

What is real estate transaction management software?+

Real estate transaction management software is the operating system a brokerage uses to track every deal from listing to close — checklists, deadlines, documents, compliance review, and reporting, all attached to a single transaction record instead of scattered across email, shared drives, and printed folders. It replaces the spreadsheets, bolt-on document tools, and per-office workarounds that brokerages assemble by default: checklists apply themselves per transaction type, due dates calculate from the contract's own key dates, and every document keeps a timestamped review history so the file is audit-ready without a weekend of cleanup before a compliance review. Paperless Pipeline is one example of this category — in production since 2009, currently used by 1,700+ active brokerages that have closed a combined $1.5 trillion in transaction volume. Software in this category is typically priced by transaction volume rather than per user, with plans commonly starting under $100/month.

Who is Paperless Pipeline built for?+

Paperless Pipeline is built for independent brokerages, franchise offices, commercial firms, property management groups, real estate teams, and transaction coordinators who need real workflow — not just a digital filing cabinet. Customers range from solo TCs and 10-agent boutiques to multi-state operations with hundreds of agents across dozens of offices.

How long does it take to get up and running?+

Your account is usable on day one. Most brokerages are fully operational in under a week, with free setup, free admin training, and free transaction import included on every plan. Most agents are productive within their first hour because the interface is built around the way a deal actually moves.

See the day-by-day path

Does Paperless Pipeline integrate with our CRM and accounting?+

Yes. Paperless Pipeline integrates natively with DocuSign, Dropbox Sign, and Follow Up Boss, and imports transactions by CSV. For everything else - your CRM, accounting tool, Slack, and 1,500+ other apps - Paperless Pipeline connects through Zapier. A status change in Paperless Pipeline can automatically update your CRM, create a bill in QuickBooks, or send a Slack message through that connection.

How is pricing structured?+

Paperless Pipeline is priced per transaction, not per user - so adding agents never raises your bill. Plans start at $69/month with no setup fees, no contracts, and no charge for free monthly backups or unlimited storage.

Is our data secure?+

Paperless Pipeline keeps a complete document review history of who reviewed what and when, with granular per-user permissions so each role sees only what it should. Free monthly backups are included, downloadable in an open, vendor-neutral format so your data is always yours.

Can I export my data if I leave?+

Yes. Every account gets free monthly backups of every transaction, every document, every note — downloadable in an open, vendor-neutral format (PDFs, CSV, and original file types). There's no export fee and no lock-in. If you ever cancel, you leave with a complete copy of your brokerage's history.
